Estle Family 2014

You've seen them here before, but I had the pleasure of once again capturing my niece's beautiful family in photos.  I've also said before that my opinion might be biased because I'm related to them, but I seriously think this family gets more attractive all the time. 

One of the reasons for this photo shoot was to commemorate Mason's 13th birthday.  Mason is becoming such a handsome young man, and I don't know of a nicer 13 year-old boy.

 

 Gotta love that golden evening light...and such a pretty girl for a subject.

Estle family, thank you again for this evening - it was lots of fun!

Cooper and his family

Life has a way of keeping us so busy that time slips away before we know it.  It's been an especially busy year for Dave and Alisha (moving to a new house, a daughter graduating from high school, new baby on the way...and all in a very short time! Whew!), which is why it's been a while since we've done a photo shoot with little Cooper...and we barely squeezed in Alisha's maternity pictures before Cooper's little brother decided to make his appearance. 
So let me share some of Cooper's toddler photos because before long I will be posting his baby brother's newborn shoot.
Cooper is sure a little cutie, but he's not really a fan of posing, sitting, or smiling on cue, so you pretty much just have to follow him around and try to capture the natural looks of curiosity and happiness.

Love this image of all 3 of you!

Our plan was to schedule another time for more maternity photos, but...well...baby Corbin decided he wasn't waiting for another photo shoot to take place.  Luckily we got a few photos to remember this pregnancy by!  Alisha, you always made such a beautiful mama-to-be.

Thanks, Dave and Alisha, for asking me to capture these special times.  Stay tuned for some adorable images of the newest family member.

Little girls, little girls

My friends have 5 granddaughters (they were recently blessed with a grandson as well, but he won't be making an appearance on the blog just yet), all of whom live FAR away.  As in, Florida and Alaska - that kind of far away.  So you can imagine that it' a very special time when they get to visit their grandparents.  I was honored to be asked to preserve the memory of their visits through photographs, and it was just a pleasure because these girls are so sweet and precious.  Enjoy some of my favorites. 

 

Pence families

You can tell at first glance of these photos that they weren't taken real recently (what I'd give to have weather like this right now!), but there's a legit reason why I'm just now posting them on my blog.  These Pence siblings and their little family units wanted to surprise their parents with some of the images from this photo shoot as a Christmas gift, so I had to wait in order to not spoil the surprise.  And it killed me to put a few of the kiddo's photos on hold - they were so cute.

 

Miss Kaydence and her mom - 2 pretty girls!

Brantley isn't too crazy about being hugged right now.

 

Those ears and that toothless smile...just makes me grin every time I look at the image on the right.

This little guy - I just wanna eat him up!

 

Lyndsi, Kaydence, Blake, Camery, and Brantley - thanks for another opportunity to capture these moments in the lives of your adorable families.
